Olympus SP-320 only takes pictures in "scene" mode

\015 In Auto mode or any of the manual exposure modes, lens doesn't extend and display tries to show the last photo, as if it were in "Quick Display" mode. If there are no photos it shows a blue screen with "No Photo." It does not go into camera mode. However, the lens does extend and photos can be taken in "Scene" mode and in "My Mode," so I don't think it's a physical lens issue. Have replaced batteries with freshly charged ones, reset camera, and re-formatted the XD card with no success. Camera has not been dropped or treated roughly and has not been disconnected from USB without ejecting.\015

How can I take the write protect mode off of the disk in my camera so I can take a picture? It is an olympus E-500. I am panicked because I need to take pictures in 20 minutes.

If the camera uses a secured digital card make sure that the card itself is not "locked". check your card ...

My Olympus 850 SW Underwater camera will not turn on in the picture taking mode. I can view previous taken pictures, however I can not turn on the camera to take pictures. The camera will just beep a few times and the screen will stay black.

Olympus e410- when I take pictures on auto settings, they come out normal, but when I take picture in auto mode, even if i have a ton of light, the picture is completely black.

Why is my olympus e420 taking green tinted photos? I bought a new camera which I received yesterday, and it was until earlier, but has suddenly started taking yellowy/greeny tinted images. I've tried changing the settings, I've changed the camera modes, I reset the settings altogether and even changed lenses and yet the camera still takes tinted pictures, inside and outside. Also, when I switch the camera to live-view mode (shows exactly what the lens sees) it shows pretty much an entire green s

Whenever I take a photo with my Olympus digital camera the image looks crystal clear until I take the picture. When the camera is put into playback mode the picture appears to have horizontal lines. I've cleared the memory adjusted the pixels and even reset the status of my camera. Help.

Bought a digital camera two weeks ago, FE3000 Olympus. Cant take a picture without horizontal lines appearing on my LCD.only 20% of the pictures I take are without these lines. When I use the video, its is perfect. Still images however are difficult to appreciate. I bought camera for daughter because I thought it was a point and shoot camera. Even in iauto mode I seldom get a perfect shot. What is wrong???????Please help me. I am willing to pay 9.95 if you can help me fix my camera. Again its an

No matter what mode I put the camera in, when I push the button to take a picture the word "recording" flashes in red and recoreds the scene instead of taking the picture. Any ideas on how to fix?

My olympus FE-240 takes blurry pictures in night mode.

Hi - i have a Lumix DMC-LX2 that has just recently stopped operation - (for example) when set to (scene) the screen simply scrolls repeatedly thru the scene choices non-stop. When taken out of scene mode - the camera no longer takes pictures - what happened right before the breakdown was: I was was zooming in (or out) on a subject - when the camera refused to stay on the desired distance, it would automatically zoom in all the way - i am at a loss....PLEASE HELP - thanks Steve

I have the same problem. It either tells me to set the clock or scrolled through scene options without stopping, or zooms until can't and freezes in this mode. I was taking photos and it happened mid shoot. I have tried air and wonder if someone can ...

Shutter Problem I have an Olympus C-750 that I was in love with until 5 days before my vacation when the shutter button decided to stop working. Zoom in and out still works, but the shutter will not respond to the button or the remote. The other strange symptom is when I turn the camera on, it snaps a picture (and then won't take anymore). Thought I might have managed to put it in a certain mode or hit some magic series of buttons to put it in this strange mode, but I can't undo it. Tried changi

I had an Olympus C-3000 this same type of sympton happened to me. I sent it off to Olympus to be fixed (via local camera dealer). When it came back, after about 10 shots, it failed again the same way. Back to Olympus a second time. Came back and fail ...

When I try to take a picture, the LCD displays a lot of colorfull squiggly lines instead of the scene that I want to capture. When I turn it ON, the Zoom lens extends normally, then the colored lines appear with the following settings on the screen. Auto, 1M 178, ISO 400, ! plus a hand icon, AUTO, 4, F2.8.
No matter which mode I choose, the same thing happens. Looking through the EVF shows the same thing.
Note; I can view several good pictures that I took before the problem showed up.

I just got my camera for christmas. The review mode is working normally, but I cannot get it to take pictures. Last time I used the camera was a few weeks ago, and it worked fine. When I chance it to the camera mode and press on, olympus appears on the screen, it makes a few sounds, then turns off.

HelloOk the problem you are experiecing is a lens error. In practice we test a lens error by either looking at the error code displayed, or, putting the camera in review mode.If the camera works in review mode, where the lens ...

Lumix tz3 Please turn camera off and then on again" as soon as camera is switched on. I Can view any menu, or read SD card, but cannot take any pictures. If I turn on in a picture taking mode it starts to focus and then the message appears, when I turn it off the lens does not close. If I turn on in playback mode, it works fine, if I turn it off from playback mode, then the lens closes. Basically, any picture taking mode triggers the error message. Solution?

Low battery maybe? Try holding camera firmly in one hand, with camera on and in record mode, and strike in on its edge firmly on the heal of your other hand. This technique is often sucessful with temporary camer 'quirks' like freezing, lens not full ...

Cannon EOS500D, taking a picture in creative modes I have to press the shutter button twice to take a picture.(not counting the half pressing of the shutter button. the second pressing of the shutter button can be any length of time to take a picture. It seems to think there is delay set but there is not. In basic modes the picture is taken normally

I just purchased a new Olympus E 420 I am trying to take pictures of a basketball game and they are blurry. Can you help me select the correct mode and shutter speed.

I assume you're shooting indoors and that you can't rig additional floodlights. Unfortunately, you're probably not going to eliminate all of the blurring. Here are some tips on reducing the blur.Raise the ISO. This will increase the noise ...

Portrait's I own an Olympus E-500 and I am trying to take portraits. I tried two different settings 1. Auto 2. Portrait neither with good results. I used a backdrop and two strobe lights, both professional equipment. With this said I would like to play with Manual mode, to try to improve the quality of my pictures. I am in JPEG SHQ settings. I am asking for your suggestion in manual to improve the quality of my Portraits. Thank you for your assistance. Ron Hafer
